[Android General] pogodancer:
Hello friends.

PREAMBLE:

1. In addition to that nice thread Onda v919 Air 3G Dual Boot 9.7" 2048x1536 px - Z3736F - 3G - Android/Windows I opened up this thread (a bit late) as an download thread for roms and other stuff only.

2. Til now I was very happy with Z3736F devices (tablets and TV-boxes) because their higher clocked performance is much more better than the Z3735F I know. But I guess these Onda V919 Z3735F devices have the same great performance as I know it from other Z3736F devices. Seems that Onda did a very good job with the hard- and firmware. Also the built quality is very good also (especially the Black/Golden Edition is an eyecatcher) and the price seems to be the lowest in the category of Intel fullHD devices with DualOS - IMHO these devices could be a really great deal for everyone. Just as an example: I bought the V919 Dual Black/Gold 3G Z3735F with 64GB in 2016-01 for 170 USD.

3. For this reason and because I prefer the Android system on a handheld (for Windows I recommend to work with keyboard and mouse) it is very important 4 me to have some modifications on the firmware - most important are root privileges and a working Playstore. For devices like the Teclast X98 you can use the same Android firmware regardless you have a 3G or non-3G or a model I or II or III. That's very comfortable. But for the V919 Onda seems to use very different hardware with different drivers. For this reason it seems that each V919 model needs its own firmware. To have a clear thread to find such files easy with an light way to change your system I opened this thread.

4. Edit 2016-09-09: I have sold my golden V919-3G-64GB-DualOS a few months ago. But I missed that very beautiful golden eyecatcher with great built quality, thin and lightweighted. So I bought the smaller edition in Gold-V919-non3G-32GB-DualOS for USD 115 a few weeks ago from a flashsale at Gearbest. You can read a little more about that in post #57. I added the recommended firmware below.

INSTRUCTIONS:

The easy way to flash (sometimes does not work):

- without installing Intel drivers

- without installing the Intel Manufacturing Tool

- without loosing your existing Windows system

you can go the way to flash a modified system just with one-click. All needed files are included in the download packages.

But nevertheless there are some important things to care for:

analyze your device model to find the matching firmware

read and understand the ReadMe in the download (incl. the xPosed Framework things if applicable)

The manual way (should work always and is not as hard as it looks first):

- without installing Intel drivers

- without installing the Intel Manufacturing Tool

- without activating the DNX mode (which I could not find until now. But maybe you have luck with point 4)

- find the matching firmware for your device

1. Install Android ADB and FASTBOOT (Please google for that - That should not be mentioned within this thread)

2. Install the Intel DNX USB drivers and the Intel Android Device drivers to your Win7 or Win10. Using Win8 you have to deactivate the drivers signature before. (Please google for that - That should not be mentioned within this thread)

3. Boot into the Fastboot mode (Droidboot) the easy way:

a) You have a working Android system.

b) Activate the developer options in system/settings.

c) Connect your tablet via USB to your computer.

d) Open a ADB command window.

e) adb reboot-bootloader

4. Boot into the Fastboot mode (Droidboot) the hard way:

Try to use different button combinations when powering on your device until you see a black screen with some words like "recovery" or "droidboot" written on it. For example:

a) Keep holding Volume minus (-) and Power simultaneously

b) Keep holding Volume minus (-) and Power simultaneously and release Power when you see "ONDA" for the first time

c) Press Vol. + and Power as long as you see the OS selector. Choose the Android system. Now quickly keep pressing the Volume- (minus) button until you will see the fastboot menu. Maybe you will boot into Android secure mode doing this on the V919 where you can make some unwanted changes (f. ex. app-installations, xPosed-settings etc.) undone to make Android boot again proper.

5. In Fastboot mode do this:

a) wipe the existing firmware parts:

b) fastboot erase cache

c) fastboot erase data

d) fastboot erase userdata

e) fastboot erase system

f) Now flash the new partitions (Always flash every xxx.img file belonging to the firmware - if not otherwise mentioned in the Download section !!!). Please use the filenames for the .img files regarding to your downloaded firmware !

g) fastboot flash boot boot.img

h) fastboot flash cache cache.img

i) fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

k) fastboot flash system system.img

l) fastboot reboot

6. After rebooting you should start and close the xPosedInstaller App without doing anything.

a) Connect ADB:

adb devices

adb shell

su

echo 148 > /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/jit_reset_offset

chmod 664 /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/jit_reset_offset

b) Now enjoy the power of xPosedFramework
